However to politicians, administrators and citizens these regions remain invisible and intangible in many respects. They are rarely mapped, lack a general concept and image, and offer few features that are readily perceived in everyday life. Getting a picture of mega-city regions is crucial for comprehension, identification, motivation and commitment. Raising awareness of this nascent space is a prerequisite to establishing large-scale metropolitan governance. The program behind "Making Mega-City Regions Visible!" aims to transform the analytical or normative concept of mega-city regions into a perceptual space, enabling it to finally become a space of collective action." -- Metropolitan areas Europe 135769 Local Case studies Cities and towns Europe 73674 Local Information visualization 114635 Local City planning Europe 73701 Local Regional planning Europe 157902 Thierstein Alain and Agnes Forters [Editor]. 283426 lcc 6 HT131 General I63 2008 249367 249367 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2015-01-09 amazon 73.11 536629 0 General HT131 I63 2008 91000000046797 2016-05-27 00:00:00 1 83.11 2015-01-09 6
